Thank you for taking over the immense task of running the Canteen. I agree with you - the Canteen should be a 'negative free zone' and a place of peace and relaxation for all who enter here. Have a good day.

BTTT and a BIG thanks to all our service men and gals!

And thanks to you Tonk and all the folks at the canteen who devote their time and assets to make it the great place that it is!

To all the active duty men and women, our thoughts and prayers are for your success and your safe return. Happy (belated) Veterans Day.

Old salts can find their ship info and/or reconnect with old shipmates at: www.hullnumber.com There's probably similar sites for the other branches.

You're doing a wonderful job keeping the Canteen together, Tonkin.

I have a photo of my nephew who is on the USS BELLEAU WOOD. He's in the 11th MEO, whatever that means. I would like to post it here soon.

Thanks for keeping the Canteen alive!

To our current servicemen and women:

We can't thank you enough. May you have steel resolve and stout hearts, and may God bring you home to us safely.

Tonk, thank you for continuing the USO Canteen. I don't think any of us would like to see the Canteen disappear into the twilight zone after all the hard work everyone has put into it. Besides, with a war looming on the horizon, our troops and allies need the Canteen more than ever. This is also one avenue where we can reach out to our military, Vets and Volunteers and let them know that they have our support.

God bless you and I hope you are feeling much better today. Take care.

Thanks for all your work, and although often overlooked by some it is ALLWAYS appreciated by those of us who share a common past.
When I arrived at work yesterday, I found a thank you note from our plant manager, thanking me for my service to our country. This is a first for me, and I alomst cried. We as veterans are often overlooked and cast in shadow. I don't expect to be hailed a hero, but it can mean so very much to a vet when someone unexpectedly says "Thank you, for your service and your caring..."
So if you are lurking or surfing through, stop and remember us, and remember us, not just on Veteran's day, but every day. We're not hard to find, we're your dad, the guy down the street, the Little league coach, or your school nurse or teacher. We're the guys who stand a little straiter when our nation's flag goes by, and then turn to wipe a damp eye.
And I know this is the last place that my plant manager will ever surf, but ... Thank you Rob, you made my day..

Hi Tonk and all other Canteeners. Thanks for picking up the torch and carrying on. I don't post often but I am with you all in spirit.

Good evening all! I hope all's well with everyone.

Helloooooo troops, veterans, and allies! A heart-felt Thank You! for serving our country, then and now. You have my undying respect, gratitude, and support.
